When no-clean flux and no-clean soldering first came out in the late 80's / early 90's, there were lots of White Papers written about conformal coating adhesion and no-clean flux. I'm pretty sure all CC's will adhere to today's chemistries. To be o

Calling for an input from the Experts our there. Our customer is questioning the cleanliness of the no-clean product that we produced for them. We were asked to clean the board (localised cleaning) after rework (IC need to be changed due to an up re

Mr Lao We have some specialist knowledge on this subject and offer both equipment and services for these tests. My first recommendation is that take coupons manufactured by your PC Fabricator and then samples at each manufacturing stage: Bare coupon

Splitting hairs, I expect SIR of all solderability protection, including OSP, to decrease after reflow. What�s more, I expect the SIR of all solderability protection to pretty much decrease over time. The �comb pattern� test specimens meet requirem

We understand that testing for ionic contamination and surface insulation resistance measure different properties. We assemble printed circuit boards for other companies. We will not get combs on 90% of the boards that we assemble. We have no custo

Ionic Cleanliness Testing: IPC-TM-650, Test Method 2.3.25, Section 5, "Dynamic Extraction Method", is the most commonplace method in the industry to test YOUR PCBA's for cleanliness. Run it through your process as normal, and send it out for testin

The heat from a soldering iron will push raw flux across the surface of the board and into surprising places. It's bad practice to squirt liquid low residue flux on the board during rework, because the portion of the flux that does not get heated pr

Gentlemen, Please consider that ionic testing is designed only for detecting ionic contaminants. Yes there are instances of non-ionic contaminants that cause premature circuit failure. However, more importantly the prevailing specs are less than adeq
